A midsummer morn's track workout

It felt like June up there on the outdoor track with the sun beating down and the temperature approaching 70 degrees. Decided on some 400's while Nate did 6 x 800 @ 2:50. Also ran into masters track ace Chris Blondin doing some repeat miles to build base and get ready for the Chase the Gorilla race this Saturday in Ipswich.

2 miles + for a warmup then did 13 x 400 (66, 66, 65, 69, 67, 66, 65, 65, 64, 66, 66, 64, 65) with a full lap walk/jog recovery. Almost 3 miles for the cooldown, including a couple laps with Chris.

Felt good to run fast (for me), especially after a late night of brownies and cinnamon rolls last night watching the Wolverines lose a close one to Louisville.
